Last Friday, I went to a class with a very friendly group that meets in Monroe, Wisconsin. We meet a couple of times a year to do a fun and easy quilt project. We always eat brown bag lunches and have show and tell.
This time the project was "Chain of Brights." I finished piecing the nine inch blocks Saturday afternoon.
I used a piece of rainbow-dyed fabric from last summer's dyeing projects for most of the bright patches and a fun print with purple whales and other silly-looking sea-life for the background. I think I'm going to use the rainbow-dye for the binding. This quilt is for a certain new baby born this summer.

Wow - love how you hand dyed that piece - Don't you love to use your own hand dyeds?? LOVE the quilt - VERY COOL!
Wow! Makes me want to try dyeing!
Very lucky baby!
It looks like we are doing the same pattern. Yay! I love the print you are using.
That is so much fun to look at. The baby, and the parents, will be so happy with it.
Bright and joyful--great for a baby. So nice that you're using your own hand dyes.
Lovely quilt. So happy looking for a new baby. Your dye job is really nice; good deep color.
What a really cool quilt and great for a baby. And I really like both the pattern and your dyed fabric.
Don't you just love it when a one of a kind piece of fabric you have created works so well in a quilt!
Excellent!!!
This looks like it was so much fun to make, and it will be so cheerful for the lucky baby.
Karen,
I love that rainbow piece you dyed! I think you've inspired me to do some mess-making this weekend. Thanks!
